Abstract
Network Function Virtualization (NFV) achieves the goal of decoupling network functions from dedicated hardware devices by software techniques, which improves the agility and scalability of network services thus reducing capital expenditures and operating expenditures. However, NFV orchestration (NFVO) still faces great challenges such as how to automatically generate an efficient orchestration in a user-friendly way. In this paper, we design and implement a platform based on OpenStack services which accomplishes a Draggable Topology Web UI to help administrators create and manage virtual networks (VNs) and orchestrations without too much expertise. We demonstrate the ease of use of the platform with experiments at the end.
